Finish. Start all over again. I was telling Stan last night,
son, this morning, the first time I was ever here, I don't
remember what year it was, but Rick and Jenny got married that
Saturday, had a meeting Friday night, and they got married that
Saturday afternoon after the morning service. So however long
ago that was, that's how the first time I was ever here. I've
been past where I'm at now 28 and a half years, and love it. Love being where I'm at. Love
the people of God. Love to be with them. Enjoy them
more than I could ever express to you how I love them. Love
them and love to be with them. And we've been together a long,
long time. A long time. And God willing,
we'll spend a lot more time together. And then when this life's over,
we'll get to spend eternity together, and we'll all know one another
then. We'll know one another. That's wonderful to think about,
ain't it? That's wonderful to think about. Know one another
better. I'll know you when you get there, and you'll know me.
You want to know one another, that's a flesh thing. You'll
know. You know, when we got there,
they knew who Abraham was and who Jacob was. How'd they know
that? Never saw them before. All right. I'm going to bring my message
here this morning from The title of my message is from verse 1.
After these things, Jesus showed himself again. Now, this is the
third time that our Lord had showed himself to his disciples
after his resurrection. And he did it at the Sea of Tiberias,
because these men were fishermen. And on this wise, or in this
way, or in this manner, he showed himself, made himself known.
Now, after our Lord resurrected from the grave, no one could
ever see him again, except by a distinct act of his will. You know, when Mary stood outside
the grave, standing there weeping, the Lord Jesus was standing there,
and she knew not that it was the Lord Jesus Christ. She proposed
him to be the gardener, and then when he spoke her name, made
himself known to her. And he was standing, the disciples
were standing in a room, and he just appeared there to them
a second time. And the only people who saw him after his resurrection
was only his disciples, only his people. And only when he
revealed himself to them. He was standing here on the seashore,
and they didn't know him. They saw a body, they saw a person,
but they didn't know it was the Lord. The disciples on the Emmaus
Road didn't know it was the Lord. When did they find out it was
the Lord? When He revealed Himself, talking with them, walking with
them. And that's the way it is today.
Anybody that sees Christ, it's by faith and by an act of His
will. And it's Him revealing Himself
to us all. And that's the way it's always
been and always will be. And it'll only be His disciples
that will ever see. The world don't see. The world
don't see. And so on this wise, he showed
himself. Many saw our Lord. They heard
his words, saw his miracles, yet they didn't believe him,
didn't trust him. And many today, they hear the gospel, but yet
they don't believe, they don't trust him. But who's going to
trust him? Who's going to believe him? Those
that he reveals himself to, just like he did these disciples.
So let's look at the time that our Lord showed himself again
to these disciples. And it says here in verse three,
It was after a time of failure. Simon Peter saith unto them,
I go a fishing. And they say unto them, we also
go with thee. They went forth and entered into
a ship immediately, and that night they caught nothing. You know when our Lord revealed
himself to them? When everything they did amounted to nothing. They were laboring like crazy,
but they didn't accomplish a thing. Didn't accomplish nothing. And
you know, that's the way it was. And let me show you something.
There were seven disciples here. Simon Peter is the first one
who said, I'm going to go back fishing. And when he says, I'm
going to go fishing, he's not like me and you saying, well,
let's go fishing this afternoon. We do it as recreation. We do
it as a pleasure. This was their living. And our
Lord had called them away from their nests. You're not to be
a fisher again. You're not going to be fishermen
again. You're going to be fishers of men. But they went back fishing. What they're saying is that Christ
is gone. I've denied him. I've made shipwreck
of the faith. And I just will go back to what
I did before. I know how to fish. I know how
to make a living. And when he done that, six other men went
with him, including John and James. And seven men went with
him. And this is what he's saying,
I'm going back to my old ways. I'm going back to doing what
I've done before Christ saved me. And I'm going to go back
to living by sight instead of living by faith. And Simon Peter
took the lead. That's the way he is by nature.
He always was popping off. He is always leading. He is always.
He is so impetuous. He is so impervious to everything
that went on around him. He was a natural-born leader,
and he just always put himself first. And then watch what it
says. And they went forth immediately.
I mean, they didn't stop, and none of them said, Simon Peter,
let's think about this thing. Let's pray about this. Let's
wait a minute. The Lord told us, you know, we're not to be
fishers anymore. But you think they'd done that?
No, no. They never even thought about it. They didn't even consider
it. They just said, let's go. Let's go. And, oh, beloved, they
went back to the reasoning of nature. And oh, and watch what
it says. And they went forth, and that
night they labored in the night. They labored in the dark. And
you know, our Lord says that we're not children of the night.
We're children of the day. We don't do what we do at night.
We do what we do in the light. And men go when they're doing
something wrong, when they're not doing things right, they
go in the dark. They're doing it in the night.
And they went in the dark, laboring at night. And our Lord didn't
appear to them during the night. No, no, he ain't going to appear.
You know, there they are there in the middle of the night, they're
laboring and all beloved. He left him to their selves.
And that's one of the most frightful things that ever happened. But
every once in a while, God will leave us to ourselves. You want
to do something you want to have? We do our children that way.
How many times did we say our children? No, no, no. Well, if
that's what ain't nothing going to do, you do it and learn from
your experience. Well, our Lord says, I'm going
to just draw my hand back. You do what you want to do. And
you're going to learn a valuable lesson. And beloved, thank God
that when he lets us go, he don't let us go but just one night
at a time. I'm grateful that he don't let
us go forever. And so when they let him go and
left him to the cells, you know what happened when he left them
to the cells? That night, they caught nothing. Mounted to zero. a zero, absolutely nothing. They
had to learn by experience what our Lord had already said to
them, that without Me, without Me you can do nothing. Not without
Me you can do part of the things, or with My help you can do something.
We need much more than His help, we need Him. I don't have any
strength but His strength. I don't have any knowledge but
what He gives me. I don't have any understanding
but what He gives me. I don't have anything but what
He's given. What do I have in this world that Christ didn't
give me? What do I know that Christ didn't teach? Everything
we have. Without me, you can do nothing. Can you pray without
Him? No. Can you believe without Him? No. Can you be faithful without
Him? No. What can you do without Him? Without me, you can do nothing. You know what nothing is? Anybody
ever seen nothing? I'll show you what nothing is.
If I can, let me give you a little illustration here. What's that right there? Zeroes. Those nothing things got any
value to them? Still got any value to them? Now they got value. You put that
one in front of them. That's why we are. We're just
all of us heroes. But when it comes to Christ,
He's what makes us. We are what we are. But what?
By the grace of God. By the grace of God. That's what
we are. We know that. We know that by experience. And
these men had to learn that. And we learned it And we'll learn
it again and we'll learn it again. God will always be teaching us
that without him, we can do nothing. We're going to try it. We're
going to do that. We're going to take a notion
of what's why we're able to do something. We're going to do
something, make up our mind. And God will say, all right, go ahead
and do it. And we find out without me, you can do nothing. And it'll
be a failure, an absolute failure. Everything without him is a failure. It's bound to fail, already failed. And we sang that song, I need
thee, I need thee, every hour I need thee. An old man down
home, the Lord done taught him home, he said, I don't need him
every hour, I need him every moment. Every moment I need thee,
oh, blessed Savior. And oh, how many who think their
life has been an absolute success will find out in that day that
it was nothing but an absolute failure. But now look in verse
four. This is the way our Lord appeared
to them. They're out fishing. They ain't caught nothing. But when the morning was now
come, and I love this little word, but. The Lord, I think,
says great big doors swing on little bitty hinges. This word,
but. But, when everything was a failure. But, when they went
back fishing. But, when they caught nothing.
When everyone, but, when everyone followed impulsive in Petra's
Simon Peter. But, watch this now. The morning was now come. Daylight
come. Christ the light has come. Weeping
endureth but for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. And
whenever Christ comes, he brings the daylight with him. Whenever
Christ comes, he brings the light with him. Whenever Christ comes,
it's like a new day. New mercies every morning I see. And oh, beloved, watch what happens
now. When the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore.
There He is standing on the shore. But the disciples knew not that
it was Jesus. He's standing there, but they
didn't see. Standing there, but they didn't
know who He was. Now, beloved, what a sad, sad state of heart
that the Lord Jesus Christ, their Master, their Redeemer, their
Savior, is standing there, and they didn't recognize Him. Have you ever been in that condition
of a heart when you come to the services and the preacher preach. And you don't recognize, you
know, the Lord ain't manifesting himself to you. You don't blame
the preacher, do you? You don't blame the word. You
know what you do? You say, troubles with me. Troubles
with me. I'm the failure. Oh, Lord, please. Please don't leave me in this
condition. Don't make my heart stay. Please don't let my heart
stay so cold. Please give me eyes to see. And
oh, beloved, what a sad, sad state. Look over here in verse
19 of chapter 20. Look what happened to them. Oh,
what a sad, sad state of heart not to recognize their master. My wife said last Wednesday night
on the way home from service, and you know, all of us have
troubles with our kids, our grandkids and Problems, problems, you know,
and things that go on in our life, health problems. And we
was on our way home from service, and she said, oh, said the gospel. Oh, the gospel said it's so healing.
Said, you know, when you're just like you're an open sore and
you're hurting so bad, she said, you go hear the gospel. She said,
it's just like a balm and somebody puts on it and heals. And that's
the way these fellows are. They're standing there, they
don't know the Lord, but the Lord's going to put some bomb on that. Oh my, but look what a sad state
they're in. Verse 19 of chapter 20. Being
the same day, this is the second time Christ appeared to them,
being the first day of the week, this is Sunday, when the doors
were shut, where the Jews, where the disciples were assembled,
watch this, for fear of the Jews. Scared of the Jews? Why would
they fear them? The Lord's on their side. Then
watch this. The Lord stood in their midst
and saith unto them, Peace be unto thee. Didn't say anything
else but that. Peace. Peace. You're troubled, peace. You're
afraid, peace. You anxious, peace. Peace. Peace be unto you. And all beloved,
and it says here back over in our text, but when the morning
was now come, but when you and I have failed miserably, but
when we've made a mess out of things, but when we've made wrong
decisions, but when we've been places we shouldn't have been,
but when we said things we shouldn't have said, but when we acted
ways we shouldn't have acted. Jesus standing on the shore in
the morning. And oh, beloved, that's the way
Mary was. Her heart was so immersed in sorrow and occupied with the
death of Christ that she didn't recognize the living Christ,
the risen Christ. And these men returned to their
worldly callings, occupied with their bodily needs and their
own earthly things, and didn't recognize the Savior. But it's
on this wise, this way and this manner He showed Himself. And
you know, let me tell you something about our Lord. He has ways of
showing Himself. and revealed himself, that when
he does it, you have no doubt whatsoever it's him. No doubt
whatsoever. And that's why it says, after
this manner, after this wise, showed he himself unto his disciples.
He does what he does in such a way that it's unmistakable
that it's him. Unmistakable. Huh? And first
thing he does, too, to show whether it's him and how he manifests
himself, He's then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye
any mink? You know why he asked that question?
He doesn't ask them for information. Our Lord don't ask questions
for information. He knows everything. You know,
when he said, Adam, where art thou? He didn't ask Adam where
Adam was, so he didn't know where Adam was, that he was looking
for him. That's the way a lot of people believe. God's out
here looking for something and can't find it. God wants to do
something but can't do it. But he said, Adam, where are
you? He wanted Adam to know where he was. And he said, children,
have you any bread? He's using that to make a revelation
to their hearts. He asked questions to make us
understand where we are, to reveal things to our hearts. And he
said, children, have you any bread? Why did he ask that? They're
going to admit that they're failures. They're going to admit that they
can't do nothing. They're going to admit that they've wasted
their time. Ain't that what they said? They answered him. No. We ain't got anything. Got any
bread? We ain't even got nothing to
eat. We've toured all night and we don't even have anything to
eat. Oh, my. You're going to admit it. You're
going to admit it. Oh, beloved, God's going to bring
you to the place you stated. You got anything? No. Do you
know anything? No. Have you accomplished anything?
No. You going to amount to anything? Not without you, I ain't. No,
no. And, oh, beloved, we've taken
nothing. We've failed. He knew they hadn't
taken anything. And, oh, when they says, no,
that was the revelation of their heart, what can we do? What have
we done? And there was no use pretending
they had something. They couldn't say, well, we've,
they could have said, well, we've done the best we could, but,
you know, we ain't going to quit yet. We're going to keep on working.
We're going to keep on fishing. Well, if we come to shore, we'll
come up with something. We'll come up with some kind
of thing going on. No, no. They was no use pretending they
had something or going to come up with something. Oh, my. And that's where a lot
of folks do. They ain't going to say no. They're
going to say, well, I'm going to keep on. We're not through
yet. No, he's going to bring you.
You're going to say, you got anything? No, I ain't got nothing. Absolutely nothing. And, oh,
beloved little disciples on the sea, they're out here on this
boat. They're a picture of us out here
in this world, laboring. Why labor you for that meat that
perisheth? Come, buy without money, without price. There we
are. We're out in the world. Christ,
He's on the shore. He's up in glory. He's up in
glory. And there He is. And when He
speaks to us, He speaks from there. in us in this world and
brings us to admit we have nothing, no nothing, we can do nothing.
And he speaks to us from there. Christ sits on the right hand
of God. And now he tries their faith. This is the way he showed
himself. He's going to lead them to confess their failure. Then he's going
to try their faith. And then he says there in verse
six, he said of them, cast the net on the right side of the
ship and you shall find. What does he know about fishing?
They've never seen this fellow before. You know, he told Simon Peter
to cast his net one time, and Simon Peter says, Depart from
me, Lord, I'm a sinful man. The fact that I doubt you, question
you. But oh, my, they have listened
to the voice of the sovereign of the sea, the one who made
the sea and all things that's in it. Oh, my, they listened
to him. Isn't this the God-man? Who knows
all, sees all, accomplishes all, has all power in heaven and earth.
He said, cast your net on the right side. They didn't say,
well, I think they'd be better on the front. If you'll move
your boat this way or move your boat that way. He didn't give
them anything to do. He didn't say, cast your net
on the right side. And everything he says to do
is always right. It'll always be the right side.
Huh? Not on the back, don't move the
boat, don't do anything. And watch what he says, and you'll
find. These men had fished all their
lives. They had tolled all night and they had caught nothing.
Nothing. But they heard a voice. And it
was the voice of certainty. It was the voice of authority.
It was the voice of power. They couldn't doubt that if they
throw that net, they're going to catch fish. No doubt. We got some men in our church
that they just love to fish. They go fishing all the time.
And they've been down our house fishing a lot. I said, how'd
you do? He said, didn't catch a thing.
Didn't catch a thing. They wasn't fishing on the right
side. Oh, boy. And our Lord Jesus Christ. He brings something out of nothing.
He takes these guys, these men who did nothing, accomplished
nothing, and he took that nothing. And their efforts, after all
night, and with one word, one word, he brought something out
of nothing. And watch what happens. They
cast therefore, and now, now, They weren't able to draw it
for the multitude of fishers. You see the difference in doing
it on yourself and doing what Christ says? Believing on Christ
and trying to do it yourself. Oh, God, don't ever let me throw
my net no place where you say throw it. Oh, my. And oh, they
obeyed his word, you know. And this is the only miracle.
That's recorded that our Savior did after his resurrection. It's
the only one. And, oh, beloved, he created the world out of nothing,
and he took these men who did nothing, could do nothing, and
brought some good out of it, brought some food out of it. Look over in Ephesians 3, 18.
I love this verse of Scripture. You know that Christ is able.
You know, he restored that which he took not away. He didn't take
these men off here and send them off fishing. They done that.
We didn't lose, you know, we was lost in Adam. We sinned ourselves. Christ restored that, which he
took not away. By one man's disobedience, we
were made sinners. Both by the obedience of another,
we were made righteous. And these men, by their labors,
caught nothing. But by the word of Christ and
believing Christ, life came out of it. Food came out of it. Salvation came out of it. Look
in Ephesians 3.18. Lord, he says, now I pray that
you may be able to comprehend with all thanks what is the breadth
and length and depth and height of what? The love of Christ.
Well, how can you know something that passes knowledge? Well,
I want you to know it, that you might be filled with all the
fullness of God. Now watch this. Now unto him
that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we
ask. Now, we can ask for some pretty
big things and or think and we can thank some awful big things.
I mean, our imagination can thank for some awful big things, but
whatever you think you can ask for, whatever you think you'd
want, whatever it is exceedingly abundantly over in abundance,
whatever you can think or ask according to his power, he works
that in us. I couldn't have thought of a
salvation like this. I certainly wouldn't have come to these men
who, after Simon Peter denied me three times, and went out
fishing and took seven other men with him, and says, well,
now I'm going to show you fellas, you know, I surely wouldn't have
caused them fellas to catch a whole load of fish. A man told me yesterday,
he said, if I was God, I'd send me and everybody I know to hell.
He said, I'm so sorry. He said, but I'm sure thankful
I ain't God in salvation's purpose. You know, given such a sad state.
But, oh beloved, look what happens now. Going back over here. Watch what happens now. Verse
7, Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved, always mentions
him that way, whom Jesus loved, saith unto Peter, It's the Lord.
I told you he shows himself in a way that you're going to find
out who it is. They said, It's the Lord. It's
the Lord, Simon Peter. It's the Lord Jesus Christ himself. Why would John? Because John
loved him. And he loved John. Now, oh, watch
what Simon Peter does. Here, Simon Peter still acts
true to his nature. I go back fishing. Now, watch
what happens. He forgets fishing. He forgets his boat. He forgets
everything about it. Now, when Simon Peter heard that
it was the Lord, now he was out there naked. Of course, he is
naked. We're all naked before God without
Christ's righteousness on. He girded his fisher's coat onto
him. And watch this. He did not even wait for the
boat to get to shore. He jumped in. What would make
a man who had denied his Lord, went back fishing to break his
neck to get back to the feet of the master? Same thing that causes me and
you whenever we fail miserably. I mean, I've got to get to Christ. Peter, you're in fishing. I'm
going to get to Christ. You're naked. I'm going to get
to Christ. You denied Him three times. I'm
going to come to Christ. No matter what our heart says
to us, we've got to come to Him. No matter what we said or done,
it's in our hearts, in our nature. Oh, I've got to get to Him. You've
got to get to Him, and that's what He's done. He wasn't even
going away. And oh, what they're saying,
only the Lord can do this. Only the Lord. He takes the weak
to confound the mighty, the foolish to confound the wise. And when
we fail miserably, He comes and shows Himself. And, beloved,
let me tell you, sinner, if you're without Christ, this is like
our Master. Quit laboring for nothing. Believe
His Word. Look what it says down in verse
30 of chapter 20. Believe his word. Believe him.
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his
disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written
that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that believing, you might have life through his name. Oh,
God help you to believe. And oh, listen. Watch what happens
now. It's like old Simon Peters, like
that Samaritan woman, she throwed her hot water pot away and went
and said, come see a man. Look what happens now. And so
those other disciples, they came in a little ship, they just had
a little old boat. And they was 200 cubits, that
means there's about 160 foot from shore or something like
that. And Jesus saith unto them, about 300 feet, Jesus saith unto
them, Knowing what happens in that verse 9, excuse me, and
he reveals himself here and manifests himself as the one who provides
for them and sustains them. And as soon as they came to land,
they saw a fire of coals there. Where'd that fire come from? Where'd that fire come from?
And then what's not on that? But there was fish there. Where'd
that fish come from? And then there's bread there.
Where did that come from? How in the world did a fire come
up, fish come up, bread? Where did it come from? The shepherd. David said, the
Lord is my shepherd. I shall not walk. And the Lord
Jesus says, they're my sheep. They're sorry sheep. They're
weak sheep. They're stupid sheep. They're
dumb sheep. They're wandering sheep. But
they're my sheep. And they're hungry. And they're
tired. And they're weak. And they're
not going to want as long as I'm their shepherd. And there's
a fire. They're going to have a place
to get warm. There's some fish. They're going to have something
to fill their belly. There's some bread. They're going
to have something to eat. Oh my, look what he says now.
And he has fellowship with them. And our Lord said, bring of the
fish which you've caught. Simon Peter went up and they
drew the net to a land full of fish, 153 of them. And yet the net was not broken.
Now watch what our Savior says. He has fellowship with these
disciples. After he brings us to confess we're nothing. after He brings us to show us
that our inability is nothing, and He reveals Himself to us
and shows that He brings something out of nothing, and shows us
that there's the fire and the fish and the bread going to sustain
us and provide for us. Not only that, but then He wants
to fellowship. He's going to fellowship with us. Watch what
He says. Jesus says to them, We got an old hymn down home
in our chorus book. I was looking to see if you had
it in yours. It says, come and dine, the master called it, come
and dine. You ever heard that old song?
Well, we sang that down home. Oh my, Jesus fed the hungry multitude. Now he said, come and dine. Well, he says, come and dine.
He didn't say, you all go sit down. He says, you come and dine.
I'm here. You can dine with me. Our fellowship with the Father
and with the Son. And, oh, my, they didn't ask,
Who are you? They knew it was the Lord. They
didn't have to say a word. They didn't say, Lord, I'm sorry,
or anything. They already knew how sorry they
were. They knew their hearts. And watch what it says next.
See, none of the disciples asked Him who He are. They knew that
it was the Lord. And that's the way, when he manifests
himself, we don't have to say, well, the Lord was there. We
knew the Lord was there. And then Jesus then cometh. Watch this now. He's the master. He takes the bread. He takes
the bread. And he gives it to them. He's the one that's going to
feed us. He don't say, no, you take the bread. He said, he gives
the bread. Everything he has, he has to
give. He took the bread and he gave it to him. Ain't that the
way he does us? We take, you know, I say I live
by the hand of the Lord. I live from his hand to my mouth.
I live from hand to mouth, his hand to my mouth. Tell you a
little story about that. A fellow said here a while back,
he said, well, you all people believe, said you believe only
a handful is going to be saved. And I said, yeah, but It's God's
hands full. It's God's handful it is. You
know God can hold a whole side. You know when they take a handful,
they take just a few. When you think God saves a handful,
that's a different story. That's a different size hand,
ain't it? That's a different size hand. And now, beloved,
this is the third time He gives it to them and He gives the flea.
Our Lord, He gives to us. Bless His holy name. He gives
to us. Ain't you got to go? I go looking for Him to give
to me. I get up in the morning looking for him to give to me.
That's why Jeremiah said every morning, new compassion and new
mercies every morning. Every morning there's a brand
new mercy. Today's mercy, one man at home every time he prays,
Lord, thank you for your new mercies, your new mercy. You wake up in the morning, there's
a brand new mercy, brand new mercy. And let me show you this
then down in verse 20. Verse 20. After our Lord spoke
to Simon Peter about loving me, he denied the Lord three times.
Christ asked him three times if he loved him. And then they
were walking along and our Lord told Simon Peter to follow him.
And then Peter, turning about, seeth disciple whom Jesus loved
following. Christ, he's following along
with the Lord Jesus Christ and he's listening to them talk and
he listened to what they say. He is the one that leaned on
the Lord's breast. We know it's John. And John says
to the Lord Jesus, while he's calling, said, Lord, who is he
that betrayeth thee? They still didn't know who it
was that had betrayed the Lord Jesus Christ. They didn't know
that Judas had been the one. They didn't know that Judas had
already hung himself. They didn't know that. Now watch this. Which is he that
betrayeth thee? Peter, seeing him, saith to Jesus.
Now, Simon Peter, he wants to ask a question, too. Lord, and
what shall this man do? Well. Our Lord makes us to know
and makes them to know his will is to be done, and there's only
one person we're supposed to follow, and that's him. Now watch
what he says. Jesus saith unto him, If I will
that he tarry till I come, what's that to you? What I will for
him, what's that to you? My will for him is for him. It's not for you. My will's for
him. You've got one will to be concerned about, my will for
you. Who is it? What's he going to
do? How many times do we say, who is that fellow? What's he
going to do? Oh my, they'd already forgot.
What a sad state they're in. Now they're worried about what
the Lord's going to do with somebody else. Our Lord says, if I will,
that he tarry till I come. What's that to you? One thing
you need to do. Follow thou me. Follow thou me. What else are
we going to do? Who else are we going to follow?
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Life
began with a look, life continued with a look, and life will end
one of these days with a look. And I'm looking to him. Got nobody
else to look to, do you? Certainly ain't going to look
to myself. I'm not going to look to you as much as I love you
and enjoy your fellowship. I'm looking to Him. I need Him. I want Him. I want Him. Do you want Him? Do you need
Him? Are you out there on the sea throwing your net around
not catching anything? Your life a failure? Your life amount to zip to zero? Come to Him. Believe Him. Our most gracious, our most blessed,
our most glorious God and Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank
you. Blessed be your name for allowing
us to speak your name, to speak of you. hopefully to bring glory to your
holy name, to be a blessing and notification to your dear saints
here. And oh, Father, we pray for those who don't know you,
who've never embraced you. I pray that you would enable in their hearts to believe you,
to trust you, to embrace you and come to you, that they'd
be done with themselves. and come to you. God bless these
dear saints. Bless this fellowship. Cause
it to flourish, cause it to grow, and send in Yeshua so that the
pastor can feed them, they can hear the gospel and believe.
